'Why are you a Republican?'

'Because I hate poor people. I hate them, Donna, they're all so poor, and many of them talk funny and don't have proper table manners. My father slaved away at the Fortune 500 company tha he inherineted so that I could go to Choate, Brown and Harvard and see that this country isn't overrun by poor people and lesbians.'

I didn't ruin it. I gave nothing away regarding the plot and/or outcome.

Well she does have a habit of comment stalking me. So it's possible she'll run across it. But that habit also means she finds almost all of the horribly sarcastic things I say as well...

I had considered it at one point but I figured it would earn me so many vomit faces from other people that it wasn't worth it.

Besides... whatever sucking up I don't do on here I try to take care of in person.

Thank you for the vacationy wishes, good sir.

Do I get a t-shirt too?

THEY'RE REAL

Capybaras

I don't envy you the wait. My copy is a few feet from me, and shall be commenced as soon as I hit my parents' place.

I'm on vacation this week.

Vacation vacation vacation.

The West Wing gives me chills, sometimes I find myself getting choked up watching it. It's strange, I don't get that emotional about things in life, even in my own life, but that show moves me in place sI thought were dead. My father was a town councilman and worked on state-level campaigns for the Republican party, he even met Regean, so growing up politics was so engrained in me in its importance. I grew up with a strange love and affection for government and public policy, and to this day I carry a copy of the US Constitution around with me(and a copy of the Hagakure). So to watch a show like that, with those charcters, it just hits me. The subject matter is so important and so intelligent and then everything else on the show is done so well, they treat everything they do with a true and deep reverance. It's inspiring and tragic that we have to look to fiction/television for that, instead of our own leaders.

moving on,

Thanks for the critque, that's exactly what I was looking for. It's always nice when people tell me how great my writing is and how much they liked it, but you don't get any better by being told that you're great. Good looking out on the silence theme, in the fisrt draft, which I trashed, there was a line in the preperatio chapter about how places that you're accustomed to being loud look different in silence. I was then going to expand it when discussing the television in mute. But sometimes you think of somehing and you just can't find space for it, or time, so it gets left out. It'll reappear somewhere. As for the cabs/tube, I think in my mind the tube is so analgous with London that I felt they didn't need to have a personal connection with it. Also Fangs and Jack were only part of the group. In my mind it just made sense that going to London equals using the tube to some extent, so therefore it was engrained in their minds.

The story itself is not part of a larger anything, although I might want to play with the charcters some more that always happens to me, I fall in love with my charcters and want to play with them as much as possible, usually by giving them nasty drug problems or killing people they care about. sort of a sadist, me. I was actually using the charcters, and story more as a templete to see what I could do with a novel, how many charcters and themes can I succesffuly juggle about, that sort of thing. As for the confusion, I think I'm still figuring it out, but I've had to finally go for broke and have total faith in whoever's going to read it, that I can go off in any direction, be a weird or surreal or honest or nonsensical as I want to be and I'm finally learning to trust my own skills and my auidence enough that I'll be able to take it there and they'll be able to follow. That, if I may be so arrogant, I think is part of what seperates the men from the boys in this game.

Okay, enough rambling, this is longer than you're orginal journal entry. One day you'll have to post something of yours, but don't owrry, the worst I'll be is honest.

hahaha yeah

but I don't want to go to jail

plus the boxes the books are in are sealed 3 times and are also Black so you can't see them

Of course! That's one of the first things I learned, many moons ago.

Unforunately, I wasn't even close to Australia, let alone to having it. I was focused around Europe, Africa, and good ol' South America.

I love Risk so bloody much.

Now that I can enter my postal code, they can stalk me anyway. I'm not too worried about a little of the ol' stalkery, though. I figure that I'm not a very likely candidate for internet stalking, especially on a site like this one.

Ahhh okay so theres no freeky hidden meaning. Guess it would have helped if I had gotten womens pokey.

Greatly appreciated man.

that sucks

I think I was at Ozzfest when it happened in 2003. nothing happened there since they had their own generators and such.

Sorry if my last comment sounded a bit rude, I was pretty drunk when I typed it and had just narrowly avoided a barfight with someone who was two of me. Since I'm usually two of average people this means he was fucking big. But, sadly, not too quick on his toes.

Meanwhile, if the power company's been telling people they need to conserve power, it's a pretty safe bet that most people won't. So the question, really, is how desperate are the power company? Are they saying covserve power because their projections versues output is right on the line and they could easily go over? Or are they just saying it and figuring if anyone actually does it's a small bonus to them? Can any man rightly say?

It would be nice if the writing that mattered to me mattered to others and the writing that didn't, well, didn't. Savvy?

I thought you had to pass the bar before you found a job? I guess I'll learn everything when I'm no longer undergrad.

I doubt that will happen.....I've been getting large replies for over a year now.

Oh and I do most of my commenting after 10pm....so I should do better then.

Sounds good. I look forward to it.

awww too bad you're sick
feel better
